Hi Experts,
I have my GMAT exam scheduled in 3 weeks. I am reaching out to seek advice and guidance regarding some of my weak areas and how can I improve my test-taking skills. I'm aiming for a 730+ score.
Verbal -
1. I have completed all the past year's OG/Verbal review/GMAT Paper Tests/GMAT Advanced questions for CR and SC as well as RC (Including the pre - 2k Passages)
My CR accuracy is as follows - Easy (90%+) ~ Medium (75-85%) ~ Hard (60-70%)
My SC accuracy is as follows - Easy (90%+) ~ Medium & Hard ( 75-90%)
My RC accuracy is as follows - Easy (90%+) ~ Medium (75-80%) ~ Hard (65-80%)
I've given official mocks 1 and 2 and I'm planning to give the mocks 3 - 6 in the coming weeks.
Mock 1 - 710 (Q49, V38)
Mock 2 - 720 (Q50, V38)
My main problem lies in CR and RC. For CR, I think I am much more confident than before, but during the mocks, I tend to get a little stretched on the hard ones. I usually try to complete the question well under 1:45 mins but for the hard ones, it takes more than 2 mins quite many times.
I have covered most of the questions of CR from official sources. I wanted to know what sources can I use now to improve my CR skills in these last 3 weeks. I have not done GMAT Prep questions. Also, I have done practice from the Manhattan guides as well.
-------
As for RC, I've been practicing Official questions daily along with LSAT questions. I have become quite confident in anticipating the passages and I'm able to understand the main point of the passages most of the time. But on the hard long passages, I tend to take a tad more time. I have been practicing inference and main point questions recently and have come to realize that I've not been hitting a good accuracy. On some hard passages, I get a 90%+ accuracy but on some hard passages, it tends to tank down.
I would like to ask how can I improve my accuracy. I tend to do 4 to 5 passages a day and tend to spend a considerable amount of time analyzing them and the incorrect options. Is there any other way I can follow that can help me improve my accuracy?
Any advice/suggestion would be appreciated
--------
As for SC, I think I have reached a ceiling. I mostly have an above 85%+ accuracy on the forum quiz sets/mocks I practice from. I would like to ask if I'm aiming for a high verbal score, what can be a realistic SC score I need to follow now to replicate it on the real exam? Any sources I can follow to improve my accuracy?
--------
Quants
Similar story with quants, mostly ranging in the Q49-50 score. Aiming for a Q50 on the real test.
I have been practicing for the GMAT Club Sectionals test for quants. I wanted to know what score should I aim for them to replicate a Q50 on the real test. Also, I'm open to any advice/suggestions for any particular steps I should follow in these last 3 weeks to improve my quant score.
Thanks in advance to all the GMAT gurus and experts.

If you've run out of official questions, consider checking whether any of the guide(s) you have came with any online exclusive questions (you can get e-versions of different guides from the MBA website). Perhaps including working with a study buddy into your prep. If you can find someone who is really strong on Verbal and needs help with help, that could be a good fit.

To improve your quant skills, you may find it helpful to engage in topical quant practice.
For example, let’s say that you want to practice Number properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.
After each problem set, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?
By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.
